Les Sables d'Olonne

By far the most glamorous seaside resort in the Vendée! Les Sables offers a vast and clean beach, on one side and on the other is the busy fishing port where good restaurants are plentiful, and nestled between these two areas are narrow streets, surprisingly hilly, gull of old houses and lovely shops. There is a taxi boat which links the port of Les Sables and the picturesque former fishing village of La Chaume. Les Sables is also the point of departure for the world famous ‘Vendée Globe’ yachting around the world.
